Predictions:
A worthy Carabao Cup final is on the cards, Liverpool and Chelsea will lock horns by the end of February. City are well on the path to gaining the title. Arsenal put up a valiant display against Liverpool in the second leg of the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Tottenham hold the fifth spot but have played at least two games less than the clubs sitting above them. BettingPremier’s take on Matchday 23 follows hereafter.
Manchester United vs West Ham
As glimpses of Ralf Rangnick reflect in Manchester United, the defects in the side are making themselves visible. Paul Pogba is still on the treatment table but speculations of him departing United are on the news. An angry Cristiano Ronaldo paced off the field after being substituted in the 71’st minute against Brentford 1-3. Today evening, Manchester United and West Ham engage in a battle at Old Trafford. If the Red Devils make three points out of this fixture, they will jump into the top four at once. Marcus Rashford isn’t his best, Jadon Sancho is underperforming and Cavani’s age looms in the form of injuries. Cristiano Ronaldo is a necessity at this point for United and Rangnick is not stupid. Rangnick will use Ronaldo when and where it is needed. Scott McTominay might return to the field. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly make the injury list. West Ham are slumping lately, losing two of the past five games. The absence of Tomas Soucek and Kurt Zouma have made them vulnerable, one of the reasons for them losing to Leeds 2-3 last week. David Moyes was vocal about the fixture congestion but nothing can be really done about it for now. It is what it is. This is the mindset that will help when they visit Old Trafford this weekend. Manchester United have the home advantage to their favour in this game.
Southampton vs Manchester City
Southampton and Manchester City will meet at St. Mary’s Stadium on Matchday 23. In the current situation, City will slice through whoever comes their way. De Bruyne’s magic worked in the Chelsea 1-0 game. The defence was tight too, Chelsea had only one shot on the goal. City have the least number of goals conceded in the league. Jack Grealish is struggling, another young native Cole Palmer will be on the sidelines due to an injury. Oleksandr Zinchenko is under isolation. Southampton have two victories of the past five games. Wolves slew the Saints 3-1 gone Saturday. Southampton couldn’t score more despite having ten shots on goal. Mohamed Elyounoussi, William Smallbone, Valentino Livramento and Alex McCarthy are on the absentees list. Manchester City will steal three points from Southampton with ease.
Arsenal vs Burnley
At Emirates Stadium, Arsenal host Burnley for a Saturday kick-off. The Gunners are carving a healthy frame of themselves in the league. Despite a defeat at Liverpool 1-2 in the Carabao Cup or the league loss against Manchester City 1-2, Arsenal have a chance to clinch a top-four spot. There is coordination and balance in the side, what they lack is a striker. Probably, they will shred Aubameyang this summer or sooner. Granit Xhaka’s erratic behaviour is not helping, Thomas Partey was forced into the field against Liverpool following a congested schedule back in Africa. Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard form a solid midfield. Cedric Soares, Calum Chambers and Bernd Leno are on the treatment table. Lying deadbeat at the bottom, three fixtures fewer than Newcastle and Arsenal, Burnley will be resuming play after a hiatus of 20 long days. Matej Vydra, Ashley Barnes, Dwight McNeil, Johann Gudmundsson, Charlie Taylor, Erik Pieters and Nathan Michael Collins are the names in the injury list. Some of them might return to the field. Beating Arsenal at home is a tough ask for mid-table clubs at this moment, Burnley won’t be able to handle the Gunners.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
On Matchday 23, Crystal Palace welcome Liverpool to Selhurst Park for a Sunday encounter. After a promising start, Patrick Viera’s Crystal Palace have fallen back lately. Of the past ten league games, five of them were defeats for Crystal Palace. Back in September, in a reverse fixture, Liverpool swallowed Crystal Palace 3-0 in whole. Viera and his men will try to avoid that kind of defeat in this fixture. Klopp will still miss Naby Keita, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, owing to the Africa Cup of Nations. Elliott, Origi, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thiago are doubtful for the game. In Crystal Palace, Kouyate, McArthur, Tomkins and Wilfried Zaha are absent. Kouyate and Zaha are playing for the national teams. The youngster Conor Gallagher has scored seven goals this season. James McArthur and James Tomkins are injured. Liverpool will triumph a victor in this fixture.
Chelsea vs Tottenham
London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham engage in Sunday affair at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea defeated Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-finals by an overwhelming margin of 2-0 and 0-1. Avoiding a defeat will be a major goal for Antonio Conte in this fixture. Tottenham are coming off a victory against Leicester 2-3. The Premier League situation of Chelsea is a bit on the downside, having lost to City 1-0 and having drawn the game against Brighton 1-1. Romelu Lukaku is slowly getting used to playing in Chelsea, the midfield is appearing healthy after a long time. Still, Reece James, Andreas Christensen, Ben Chilwell and Trevoh Chalobah from the backline are on the injured list. In Tottenham, the lack of goals from Harry Kane is creating problems. With Hueng-Min Son injured, there isn’t any to kickstart their goal tally. Eric Dier and Cristian Gabriel Romero are on the injury list. Chelsea have a slight edge over the travellers in this fixture.
